Project description:IFNα-mediated gene expression pattern. Direct effects of IFNα on human CD8 T cells without any other concomitant signal. This analysis examined the direct effects of IFNa on human CD8 T cells without any other concomitant signal. Total human CD8 T cells were magnetically sorted from peripheral blood by negative selection. In order to minimize the presence of antigen-experienced cells, total human CD8 T cells were depleted of CD45RO+ cells by labelling with anti-CD45RO magnetic bead. In both steps of cellular sorting, negative selection were preferred to positive selection to avoid direct labelling of CD8 T cell surface molecules could interfere with downstream IFNa-mediated signalling. Magnetically sorted untouched human CD8+CD45R0- T cells from three different donors were unstimulated or stimulated with IFNa2b or IFNa5 and cells were harvested 7 hours later. mRNAs from the 3 subjects were pooled and analyzed using Affymetrix human HG-U133A 2.0 array gene chips Fold-change ≥ 2 criterion was used to identify genes which expression differed between treatment and control (unstimulated cells). Keywords: Gene expression pattern analysis Magnetically sorted untouched CD8+CD45R0-T cells mRNA pooled sample from three different donors unstimulated or stimulated with IFN alfa 2b or IFN alfa 5 for 7 hours.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:Cancer treatments have been revolutionized by the emergence of immune checkpoint blockade therapies. However, only a minority of patients with various tumor types have benefited from such treatments. New strategies focusing on the immune contexture of the tumor tissue microenvironment hold great promises. Here, we created IFNα-overexpressing mesenchymal stromal cells (IFNα-MSCs). Upon direct injection into tumors, we found that these cells are powerful in eliminating several types of tumors. Interestingly, the intra-tumoral injection of IFNα-MSCs could also induce specific anti-tumor effects on distant tumors. These IFNα-MSCs promoted tumor cells to produce CXCL10, which in turn potentiates the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in the tumor site. Furthermore, IFNα-MSCs enhanced the expression of granzyme B (GZMB) in CD8+ T cells and invigorated their cytotoxicity in a Stat3-dependent manner. Genetic ablation of Stat3 in CD8+ T cells impaired the effect of IFNα-MSCs on GZMB expression. Importantly, combination of IFNα-MSCs and PD-L1 blockade induced an even stronger anti-tumor immunity. Therefore, IFNα-MSCs represent a novel tumor immunotherapy strategy, especially when combined with PD-L1 blockade.
